| Abstract;Pancreatitis is divided into acute and chronic types. In recent years several classification schemes have been proposed which focus on the clinical, imaging, or morphological features of the disease. Because etiology has also become an important criterion for the characterization of pancreatitis, a classification proposal is presented that attempts to include all relevant features of the disease: clinical presentation, outcome, pathology, and etiology.
